With the launch of this new service, IBM will become the only company in the world to offer best-in-class AI powered Enterprise Marketing Cloud Services locally from a Data Center in India.

IBM’s Indian customers can now host their marketing data on our cloud data center which gives them proximity, scalability and more importantly helps them meet regulatory requirements. This move will enable marketers of Indian businesses and government agencies to create unique customer journeys, while ensuring that their clients have more control over their marketing data in line with data privacy regulations, especially in highly regulated sectors such as Banking, Insurance and more.

“India is one of the fastest growing digital economies in the world and is poised to become a trillion-dollar digital economy in the coming few years. We will have a 90% mobile penetration by 2022 and is projected to have close to 850 million internet users. Businesses are increasingly looking at data driven insights to engage with their customers and create personalized experiences. With this announcement, we will be able to offer our customers the power of cloud and AI to leverage data in the digital marketing space,” said Karan Bajwa, MD, IBM India.

IBM has a rich legacy of working with some of the top brands across the world and in India – who are redefining their customer journeys with the help of IBM’s technologies.

“India is absolutely poised to lead the data revolution, given the enormous amount data being generated by over 1bn people. CEOs are interested in security, data privacy, AI and how the cloud can transform their business. With the launch of this service, we now provide the world’s best-in-class AI Powered Marketing Cloud solution from our cloud data center in India. This enables us to leverage cloud and AI in creating unique journeys for our customers, while addressing data security and privacy regulations of the country,” said Harriet Green, Chairman & CEO, IBM Asia Pacific.

“PAYBACK partnered with IBM to enhance the performance of its marketing campaigns. We are in process of implementing the full suite of Watson Campaign Automation and started the phased launch from September 2017. So far we have delivered over a billion communications to our members and we are looking to further consolidate the experience with more personalised and relevant messages while improving our engagement rates and simultaneously optimising costs across the entire marketing value chain,” said Rijish Raghavan, COO, PAYBACK India
